Mapping the rivers within a state is crucial for understanding their interaction with other geographical features. Using the MAPOG Map Analysis platform, you can easily visualize these intersections.
The Cross Intersection tool helps you identify where rivers cross roads, railways, and boundaries, providing valuable insights for environmental monitoring and urban planning.
Discover how MAPOG can simplify your mapping tasks and enhance your analysis.
KEY CONCEPTS
Our goal is to create a simple and interactive map of Rivers within a state boundary using the Cross Intersection tool of the MAPOG Map Analysis.

Steps for Creating a Map through Cross Intersection
Below are the steps to follow to create the map
- Open Map Analysis
- Click on GIS Libraries
- Add the Admin Boundaries of the target States
- Rename the Map
- This is how it should look after adding the Admin boundaries
- Also, Add the River Lines Data
- From the Process Data, click Cross Intersection
- Select the Target State for the Polygon Layer
- Select the River for the Line Layer
- Choose the attributes to be there in the newly formed layer
- Click Submit
- Style the layers accordingly.
A new line layer will be formed containing the rivers Intersecting the state boundary polygon.
View the Datatable of this layer by going to Layer Action – Show Datatable
The length of individual river segments is given in meters here.
Click on the newly formed layer for more details about it.
This is the Final Map
This powerful tool enables you to identify and visualize the intersections of rivers with other key geographical features such as administrative boundaries.
Understanding these intersections is crucial for applications in environmental monitoring, urban planning, and disaster management.
